Late yesterday afternoon Gary told

"The Federal Steel company," Mr.

The work of extending the Pendle

firm of Robinson & Foster of Spokane
or of Jaeobson & Hade of Portland.
At the o enlng of the bids at the
regular meeting of the city council
last evening, those of these two com
panies were found to be the lowest
and the other seven submitted were
thus dominated from consideration.
The council asked for fmir dif-
fi it nt bids from each company, one
for furnishing all material and labor 1
and completing the entire system, one
for the furnishing of all pipe and
specials, one for the excavating alone
and one for the furnishing of ninteriul
and labor and the construction of
manholes.
The Spokane company submitted nil
four bids but the Portland company
only bid on the entire Job.
The following Is the hid of Robin
son & Foster: For furnishing all ma
teria! nnl labor and completing tho
entire system. $17,998.00; for fur
nishing all pipe and specials f.o. b.
Pendleton. $7,404.00; for furnishing

These bids were referod to the

A I viMai!inoiit is in Conformance Willi
New Si-luiol Iawv Pa ssi 1 1 at Roccnl
Session of legislature ApiKiiuli-es
Are Young b;it Ilotli Are Men of
Experience and Ability,
Albert E. White of Milton and
George Tonkin of Pilot Rock have
been appointed as supervisors of the
rural schools of Umatilla county in
conformance with the new school law
passed at the recent session of the
legislature. These men were select
ed out of a largo number of appli
cants at the recent meeting of the
new county educational board. Both
of the appointees are young men but
both are men of experience uud abil
ity and th" board members believe
they will prove entirely satisfactory.
In sjn-aking of the new law a mem
1 er ef the board said:
"It was the unanimous opinion of
the board that the maximum number
of supervisors should not be employ
ed at first. By beginning with a
small number of supervisors, the ex
pense would be less and at the same
tim,. the plan of rural supervision
could be given a fair test. The board
divided the county into three suprr-ist-iry
districts. While the county
superintendent will still have general
supervision over all of the schools in
the county, his supervisory district
will include all of the towns aild most
of the larger country districts of the
county. Tin re w ill ! about oigh.'y
tern hers employed in his district, and
it will r-'quiio about .'61 miles of trav
eling for him to visit all of the schools
in his district at onca
"The northern supervisory district
ex'ends from about eight miles
southeast of Walla Walla to five
miles west of Holdman, and from the
state line almost to Pendleton. This
district contains about forty schools,
only erne of which employs more than
one teacher, this district being sit
uated in the mountains east of Wes
ton. It will require approximately
377 miles of traveling to visit each
of the schonlsln this district once.
"The southern supervisory district
extends from a few miles north of
Pendleton to Uk!nh on the south and
from Cabbage 'Hill on the east to
Lower Birch creek on the west. This
district contains about thirty-five
schools, and the supervisor must
travel approximately 370 miles to
visit each one of the schools once. By
visiting a half day at each school, 'the
rural supervisors can visit all of their
schools in about twenty days. How
ever, after becoming acquainted with
all of the schools, it is not likely that
they will be visited in regular rotation
as some of the schools assistance,
while others will need more help anel
must be visited more frequently."

Mexico City, June 8. Partial
communication in the south
were restored today and reports
say that hundreds were killed
in Zapotlan by the earthquake.
There was great destruction In
surrounding towns. The cities
of Pan Andreas and Tonila,
near the volcano Colina, which
is erupting, are heavily damaged
and many lives were lost. There
were some minor eiuakes this
morning. Relief trains have
been sent from this city.
Mexico City, June 8. While mu
nicipal authorities today were bury
ing the dead, clearing the debris of
yesterday's quake, Madero plunged In
to the work of the plans for the con
structive government he hopes to es
tablish. In an exclusive Interview he
stated that he must improve the
schools first. Dr. Gomez w'll be as
signed this duty. Madero said he
woubl not make a campaign for the
presidency. American and foreign
capital will always bo welcomed. He
favors universal suffrage. The revo
lution cetst him $300,000 and not a.
single cent of Amortcan money waa
represented in th s sum. The au
thorities are making efforts to reach
the southern dis'riets where it is re
ported the earthquake has caused
heavy death toll in the larger town.
No positive confirmation is available
because wires are down. Probably 7S
are dead ;n Mexico City.
Two Hundred Injured.
Two hundred of the injured are la
the hospitals. It is believed that the
death list will increase as the ruiru
are searched. The soldiers In Santa
Maria district are today razing the
tottering ruins of their homes and
shops in crder to prevent further lose
of life.
ARGUMENT BEGINS IX
WAPPENSTEIX TRIAL
Seattle, June S. Arguments in the
Wappenstein trial began this fore
noon. Each side was given two and
and a half hours to present the case,
Jrhe jury will probably retire this

penstein showed a marked lapse of
memory in recollecting when he
loaned his brother-in-law, Ed Benn,
$5000. Benn testified it was in 1900.
Wappenstein said it may have been
in 197. The payment of the loac
began in 1910 and by it Wappenstein
explains the sudden inflation of his
bank account.
